AIT ESSAY.
The Influence of Woman.
The following essay was read at
the Goshen Ilill Lodge, Knights
of the Seven Pillars, by Miss Mat

No thoughtful student of human
higtory, who has marked the rise,
establishment, and fall of nations.

the_ position destines is the of key man. the Her know¬ social
to
ledge of a nation’s greatness—the
exact measure of refinement, cul¬
tivation, and moral altitude pertain¬
ing to a people or an ago. There
may be a question as to what
constitutes tho true, legitimate
sphere of woman, as there may be
a question as to what constitutes a
nation’s glory; but there can .tot be
a doubt as to a mother's influence
over her son, or tho paramount
agency which woman wields in
the exaltation or debasement of
her offspring, in elevating a people
to the meridian splendor of ' mi
perishable her renown, or in sinking
race to tho lowest depths of
unutterable shame and depravity.
Well then, when woman revels is

only from selfish motives, to exert
their influence in behalf of all that
is noble and elevating,
Of the worst foes that V.-omcn
has ever had to encounter, wine
stands at t the head. The appetite
fof strong drink in man has spoiled
the lives of more women—ruined
more fortunes hopes for thorn, scattered
more for them, brought
to them more shame, sorrow and
hardship—than any othej; evil
that lives. The country numbers
tens of thousands of women who
are widows to day, because their
husbands have been slain by strong
drink. There are hundreds of
thousands of homes scatered all
over the land, in which women live
lives of torture, going through all
between the changes of suffering that lie
the extreiqes of fear and
despair, because those whom they
love, love wine better than they
do the woman they have sworn
to love. There are women by
thousands who dread to hear at the
door the step that once thrilled
them witI , p] e asure, because that
step has learned to reel under the
influence of the seductive poison,

always been, and is to-day the curse
of your sex.
And, lastly, let every woman use
all the influence sue possesses
against the whisky traffic. Young
men sometimes think it pays to
sell conscious liquor, notwithstanding the
fact that the business is
mean and dispicable, because they
see how readily wealth is accumu¬
